Evolutionary Algorithms for Vertex Cover
This paper reports work investigating various evolutionary approaches to vertex cover (VC), a well-known NP-Hard optimization problem. Central to each of the algorithms is a novel ...

On the connection between the phase transition of the covering test and the learning success rate in ILP
It is well-known that heuristic search in ILP is prone to plateau phenomena. An explanation can be given after the work of Giordana and Saitta: the ILP covering test is NP-complete...

Covering and Packing in Linear Space
Abstract. Given a family of subsets of an n-element universe, the kcover problem asks whether there are k sets in the family whose union contains the universe; in the k-packing pro...

Exact Cover with light
We suggest a new, unconventional, way for solving the YES/NO version of the Exact Cover problem by using the massive parallelism of light. The idea is to build a device which can ...

Covering Games: Approximation through Non-cooperation
We propose approximation algorithms under game-theoretic considerations. We indroduce and study the general covering problem which is a natural generalization of the well-studied m...
